the most irritating use of m_containment is to place the view on its screen 
and desktop. the widgetexplorer probably should still use this to be sure that 
doubleclicking an applet sends it to the containment expected (especially with 
view-per-desktop)... but this isn't so important for the activity manager.

do I really need to bother setting the screen at all? or can I assume it'll 
magicallly go to the Right one?
if I do need to set the screen, what's the best thing to set it to? the 
current screen (if something can tell me that)?
